Sure, let's evaluate [tex]\((x - y)^2\)[/tex] given [tex]\(x = 10\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 6\)[/tex].
First, we need to find the difference between [tex]\(x\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x - y = 10 - 6 = 4 \][/tex]
Next, we square the result:
[tex]\[ (x - y)^2 = 4^2 = 16 \][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\((x - y)^2\)[/tex] when [tex]\(x = 10\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 6\)[/tex] is [tex]\(16\)[/tex].
